re: The best DUI checkpoint refusal you've ever seen W/VIDEO

I am going to put this out there and this is just my opinion others may differ and that is fine. In August of 1967 my 2nd oldest brother who was 2 years old at the time was killed by a drunk driver. My Dad permanently crippled. Only has half of his knee cap and his knee is wired together. Even with all of that I do not support DWI checkpoints. The way the whole thing is done encourages corruption by the police. Each dept. gets extra funds to pay for and man these checkpoints. Police get overtime pay to work these checkpoints. They awards for the amount of drunks they catch. We just had a story in the media a week or 2 ago where a girl was arrested for DWI and was stone cold sober. I am sure most of us have been through these check points at one time or another. Damn near every time their are 20 plus cops working. All of this money being spent to set up at one spot on a hwy for 5-6 hours and it has to be public knowledge ahead of time. This money would be much better spent if you put each of these cops in a cruiser and have them actually patrol the streets. Not to mention that its a violation of your rights to be randomly stopped and questioned.

this right here. there's no argument that overcomes this point. it's not even a contest. checkpoints are a breach of our rights and a waste of our taxmoney.
